It's a conspiracy: HRC calls NOM's anti-gay bus tour a 'sham'
from Care2.com
...The Summer for Marriage tour has been perceived as going so badly for NOM that some have started to suspect that there may even be an ulterior motive behind it.
Fred Sainz, the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC) vice president of communications, alleges in an article on the HRC's website that NOM is actually using the tour to draw out gay rights protesters, hoping therein to use confrontations that may or may not have occurred at the events so that they can add to their alleged nationwide plan to evade public disclosure laws and keep hidden their political activities.
“The bus tour is a total sham, plain and simple,” said Fred Sainz, HRC’s vice president of communications. “NOM’s highly-touted bus tour is less about so-called ‘traditional marriage’ and more about creating an elaborate and cynical stunt. NOM rolled out a summer of nationwide events in order to draw lawful protesters, all so that NOM and its allies can pepper ongoing lawsuits challenging public disclosure laws with made-up stories of harassment. This unprecedented victimization crusade is the lowest denominator of political activism, and it won’t fly.”
